Newcastle for me. Great city, great stadium, great folk. There's a small RL presence which can only be helped.

Don't know why it hasnt been used yet.

I personally think Newcastle would be the biggest gamble yet.

I'd love to visit the stadium and I quite like the city for a night out, but I don't see anything that would drag my family to Newcastle for this event. They attended Manchester for the day out and it was close, and they attended Edinburgh as it is a real tourist city. Newcastle isn't this and is quite some distance for many fans.

A gamble maybe but with a decent push could match the crowds in Cardiff or Edinburgh. Its only an hour or so away from Yorkshire and maybe 2 from Lancs.As for tourists, yeah its not #1 but there's enough to warrant a weekend.

Decent rail links too - mainline and otherwise.

The difference is quite droll:

The pessimist sees the hole.
